Two arrested, 149 lbs. of marijuana seized in I-80 traffic stop

Two men have been arrested and nearly 150 pounds of marijuana seized in a traffic stop on Interstate 80.

The Nebraska State Patrol reports a trooper pulled over an eastbound mini-van Wednesday night for failing to signal near York. During the stop, the trooper saw a vacuum-sealed bag of marijuana plainly visible inside the van.

Troopers along with York County Sheriff’s deputies searched the van and found 149 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $447,000.

The driver, 56-year-old Robert Rosenwasser of Florida, and his passenger, 53-year-old Milton Coore of Jamaica face multiple charges. Both have been jailed in York County.
